different people

"If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"
-Fight Club

it's really scary how one can fall asleep as someone and wake up compeletely different. now i can finally understand when someone says, i just woke up and i realized i didn't love them anymore. at night people run low on cognitive resources so they are disarmed from all shielding mental processes, it is the time they are thinking the most clearly. however when you wake up in the morning well rested and rebooted you function in a more efficient fashion. everything that happened the night before is forgotten and you feel like a completely different person. what would happen if someone wasn't allowed to sleep? you would be functioning on complete emotion. that doesn't seem at all appealing to me.
